225 pounds of machinery placed aboard $3.50

on to the ocean. a navigation bounty of
twenty-nne cents a ton for every mile sailed
is allowed the first year. After the first
year it is gradually reduced until the ex-
piration of twenty or thirty years. italy
gives a large construction bounty, for iron
and steel ships S5.76 per ton, 81 so for indi-
Gated horse power of machinery. and fifty
eight cents per hundred pounds on boilers
and navigation bounty of thirteen cents
for every thousand miles steamed from italy

eral system of bounties for vessels engaged
In the west Indian and South and North
American trades, so liberal that the Spanish
steamers running from Havana to New York
are said to get over four thousand dollars
from their government on each round trip.
Germany also encourages private enterprise
by public aid. The result is natural as il has

are competing for the trade between San
Francisco and Central and South America /;
and finally England. by recent subsidy of
SSoo,oO0 year to the Canadian Pacific line
of steamers from China and Japan to Van
couyer, has struck a blow at our trans Paci-
fic trade, wherein so many Maine ships have
been finding employment. The subsidy is
the weapon with which the great trading
nations are struggling for commercial SUI
premacy. The United States, unarmed in
the fight, suffers from all of them, with the
prospect that her entire foreign carrying
trade may be swept away unless something
is done. The American Shipping League
asks that the United States may be armed
with the same weapon that foreign nations
are using, and enter the fight on equal terms
The weapon is expensive, but the United
States can afford the expense as well or bet
ter than any of the nations that are now
welding it, The next question, whether the
object to be attained would be worth the
cost, may be asked in Arkansas or Alabama,
but not among men who know the value of
commercial prestige.

craft" they knew how and where sport was
to be had on their section Of the Restigouche.
With all their skill. however, they could not
speak with the peculiar pride which fisher
men inyoluntarily display when relating the
incidents of a satisfactory fishing excursion.
DR.. Campbell says fishing was fifty per cent.
less than last year, and many fish that he
landed were marked with the nets. Mr..
Wlmot, of New York, IAN old familiar
visitor. IS fishing this year again at Indian
House. lie laid thrty-siX pound fish on
the bank last week, the largest that has been
killed ON the river since the opening of the
season The following members of the Res
tlgouche salmon club are fishing at various
points along the river: Mr.. Cadwalader. the
genial president of the club, Mr.. DeForrest,
secretary; Mr.. Weeks, New York; John S.
Kennedy, Mr.; Hollands, Mr. Wood, DR.. Weir
Mitchell, Philadelphia; Mr.; Thompson,

renee and Capt Sweeney, N. Y, and G. f.
Feawing, New York These gentlemen have
had varying luck, but none of them speak
with thorough satisfaction. They say that
the numerous nets and traps that have been
placed at the entrance of the river and along
Its banks, and in a manner almost closing
the river, keep the fish from coming up. 1t
is pretty well known that except in muddy
water the fish swim up river, keeping COM
paratiyely close to the bank and immense
numbers get into the cradles. The fish cap
tured by rod this season are, generally speak
ing, as weighty as in previous years and the
quality is much the same all over

1t seems to be settled that there must be
duel between Jules Ferry and General Boul-
anger. nj. Ferry, in an after dinner speech
on the twenty-ifth of July referred the ex-
minister of war as a god OF the music hail."
and the latter demands satisfaction. The
French duel is not usually regarded as an
analr OF much consequence to any but the
participants. 1t is a practice, not highly
dangerous, which Frenchmen have always
defended on the ground that it tends to pre-
vent wanton mendaeity and unfounded per-
sonal accusation, especially among politi-
clans, by imposing upon every one a sense
OF serious responsibility for mis- utterances.
From abroad the duels have attracted little
interest and much indifferent scorn and witt
clsm. But in the present case the promi-
nence OF both men, and the conditions out
Oh winch the challenge has arisen make the
affair are of the most important events in
the history of duelling. Boulanger, so lately
the popular minister of war, is the idol of a
large and exceedingly noisy and turbulent
portion of the French people. The effort of
the present French ministry to degrade him,
and the abuse which his enemies have
heaped upon him, have still more endeared
him to his followers. The impersonation of
the lingo" sentiment of France, he is a
man whose triumph in a duel might be
menace to peace, while his death might be a
menace to order. NJ. Ferry has long been a
prominent French statesman. A man of
letters, friend of Gambetta, and after the
latter's death a political leader, he rose to be
prime minister Of France at the head of the
cabinet which went under during the revul-
sion of feeling that followed the waste and
disasters of the Tonquin war. In abilities
and services as statesman he is as far supe-
rlor to Boulanger as the latter is superior to
him, in all probability, in physical courage
and the use Of weapons. In the prominence
OF the participants this duel will rank with
the famous duels that disgraced America in
the days of Aaron Burr and Graves. In the
present unsettled state of public opinion in
France. its political consequences may also
entitle it to place as an important histori-
cal event

Although Captain Eads is dead the project
of ship railway across the Isthmus of Teh-
uantepec is not put aside. The rehuantepec
Ship Railway Company has decided to seek
charter and aid from Congress no longer,
but to become incorporated under the gener
al law of some State, and go to work at once
tobuild the road. The calamity that must
probably soon overtake the Panama Canal
Company will give an impetus to the ship
railway scheme; and very likely the con-
struction of short portion of the road may
so demonstrate its practicability as to rem
der the procurement of sufficient funds quite

In the death of Katkoff, editor of the Mos

most popular journalist. AS power behind
the throne he exerted moro influence than
even the Cars chosen advisers; and in a
land where free speech is crushed out by
ruthless despotism, did not hesitate 10 lee

his great work became an effort to eliminate
foreign influences and ideas, and turn Scla-

own tongue and semi-ciyilized traditions.

1t is stated that no charges have yet been,

Baltimore. Furthermore, we understand
that the Civil Service Reform Association of

'Tis quite fad in these hot times
to write up jokes in jingling rhymes,
and run them in, like this, in prose,
and so, to be in style, here goes: A
man who in this brighter day, will
spend his time to scratch away,
about the mother of his wife, has
never lived a decent life, and, ten to
one he doesn't know enough to scare
a yearling crow, and probably, the
worst disgrace his mother-in-law has
had to face was letting such loafel
win her daughters heart and little
fin. The man who works the an
cient joke, of any sort, had better
stoke a furnace in the land of coke

We have never known a more de-
termined and heroic effort made
than was made by the farmers of
Cass county this summer to make a
crop. In some portions Of the coun-
ty fair average crop was raised, but
with the majority, corn, the staple
crop of the Countrywide crop that
some how puts the money into the
peoples pockets, is a partial failure;
no use to deny it, no use to cover
up, and above all, no use to be dis
couraged. The man who becomes
so and determines to seek other farm
ing lands will, in all probability
make mistake. All of us remem-

he found suffering with every symp-
tom of hydrophobia. On the evening
of the 2Sth of June, Mr.. Hern. about
dark, started to visit neighbor and
while on the way something attacked
him by swapping at his feet. Stoop-
ing down to ascertain what it was it
sprang into his face, inficting an
ugly wound on one cheek, which,
under the skillful attention of DR..
Cannon, soon healed, leaving nothing
but slight scar as remainder of a
trivial occurrence. But last night il
